Big deal MOVE ON!!
Stereophile Scamming Subscribers?
I just got my renewal notice in the mail. I had previously subscribed for 3 years, and now it was expiring. I have been a subscriber for over 20 years. The notice stated I could renew for the low, low price of $33/year if I commit for 2 years. I figured I would go online and renew that way. I searched out Sterophile.com and lo and behold, a NEW subscription costs only $15/yr with a 2-year commitment.
What are they doing??

By the time my subscription runs out I'm freakin' sick of reading it anyway, same old blather. Can't wait to read the review (on-line) of the new PS Audio DAC as they just did a two page spread, pretty picture! So I let it run out and take a break from it and then offers start coming in the mail and the price keeps dropping. Sooner or later I'll jump back in. BTW, as many people here I don't give a crap about $33! That's laughable. Regards, barts

@barts That's my point. If you don't like it, don't bother with it. But you say you don't give a crap about $33. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Even for $10. But beware on-line reviews. If you are interested in the PS DAC, go listen, don't take the word of someone you don't know. |
I just renewed last week for two years at $23 a year. Yeah, I agree though, tagging existing subscribers for renewals that are higher than a new subscriber gets just doesn't sit right. If you're a loyal subscriber why should you be paying MORE ?
BTW, not surprisingly (though I bet most of us never think of it) Amazon adjusts prices on product for various customers dynamically so you and I might see different prices for the same product ! |
@clearthinker I understood your point and I do like it from time to time, it just gets to repetitive for me. So, I take a break from it. The PS Audio DAC comment was totally tongue-in-cheek. I'll bet it will be good, maybe very good. Seems to fit the pattern of their new speakers, big splash, flashy beautiful pictures and then a sterling review. And yes I did audition them and was not impressed. I am well passed buying without trying. Regards, barts |
